In this paper, we define a new capacity which allows us to control the behaviour of the Dirichlet spectrum of a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, with "small" subsets (which may intersect the boundary) removed. This result…

Let $K$ and $L$ be two convex bodies in $\mathbb R^n$, $n\geq 2$, with $L\subset \text{int}\, K$. We say that $L$ is an equichordal body for $K$ if every chord of $K$ tangent to $L$ has length equal to a given fixed value $\lambda$. J.…

We resolve a problem posed by Mattila, Serapioni and Serra Cassano concerning the role of density assumptions in the characterization of rectifiable sets of low codimension in Heisenberg groups. Specifically, we prove that the positive…

We consider overdetermined problems of Serrin's type in convex cones for (possibly) degenerate operators in the Euclidean space as well as for a suitable generalization to space forms. We prove rigidity results by showing that the existence…

Our main result introduces a new way to characterize two-dimensional finite ball quotients by algebraicity of their Bergman kernels. This characterization is particular to dimension two and fails in higher dimensions, as is illustrated by a…

We prove that a hemisphere in the Euclidean space $R^{n+1}$, viewed as the graph of a function, admits no smooth perturbations as graphs with mean curvature $H\ge 1$ whose boundary equator is fixed up to $C^2$. This is an extension of the…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian surface with nonpositive sectional curvature and let $\gamma$ be a closed geodesic in $M$. And let $e_\lambda$ be an $L^2$-normalized eigenfunction of the Laplace-Beltrami operator $\Delta_g$ with…

In this short note, we establish a quantitative description of the genericity of transversality of $C^1$-submanifolds in $\mathbb{R}^n$: Let $\Sigma \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a $d$-dimensional $C^1$-embedded submanifold where $n \geq d+1$.…

We show that for a very general class of curvature functions defined in the positive cone, the problem of finding a complete strictly locally convex hypersurface in $H^n+1$ satisfying $f(\kappa)=\sigma\in(0, 1)$ with a prescribed asymptotic…

We prove that in a complete metric space $X$, $1$-rectifiability of a set $E\subset X$ with $\mathcal{H}^1(E)<\infty$ and positive lower density $\mathcal{H}^1$-a.e. is implied by the property that all tangent spaces are connected metric…

We show that for uniform domains $\Omega\subseteq \mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ whose boundaries satisfy a certain nondegeneracy condition that harmonic measure cannot be mutually absolutely continuous with respect to $\alpha$-dimensional Hausdorff…

A curve $\theta$: $I\to E$ in a metric space $E$ equipped with the distance $d$, where $I\subset \R$ is a (possibly unbounded) interval, is called self-contracted, if for any triple of instances of time $\{t_i\}_{i=1}^3\subset I$ with…

In their 1991 and 1993 foundational monographs, David and Semmes characterized uniform rectifiability for subsets of Euclidean space in a multitude of geometric and analytic ways. The fundamental geometric conditions can be naturally stated…

We give new examples of manifolds that appear as cross sections of tangent cones of non-collapsed Ricci limit spaces. It was shown by Colding-Naber that the homeomorphism types of the tangent cones of a fixed point of such a space do not…

A congruence is a surface in the Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}(1,\mathbb{P}^3)$ of lines in projective $3$-space. To a space curve $C$, we associate the Chow hypersurface in $\mathrm{Gr}(1,\mathbb{P}^3)$ consisting of all lines which intersect…

We obtain sharp convergence rates, using Dirichlet correctors, for solutions of wave equations in a bounded domain with rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients. The results are used to prove the exact boundary controllability that is…

We prove a homogeneous, quantitative version of Ehrling's inequality for the function spaces $H^1(\Omega)\subset\subset L^2(\partial\Omega)$, $H^1(\Omega)\hookrightarrow L^2(\Omega)$ which reflects geometric properties of a given…

We study absolute continuity of harmonic measure with respect to surface measure on domains $\Omega$ that have large complements. We show that if $\Gamma\subset \mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ is $d$-Ahlfors regular and splits $ \mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ into…

Let $E\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n\ge 2$, be a closed, Ahlfors-David regular set of dimension $n$ satisfying the "Riesz Transform bound" $$\sup_{\varepsilon>0}\int_E\left|\int_{\{y\in E:|x-y|>\varepsilon\}}\frac{x-y}{|x-y|^{n+1}} f(y)…

We prove that any self-contracted curve in R 2 endowed with a C 2 and strictly convex norm, has finite length. The proof follows from the study of the curve bisector of two points in R 2 for a general norm together with an adaptation of the…
